Italy and Algeria coaches and team captains at the press conference

Italian Head Coach Luca Pieragnoli:

"Our physical motivation was good. Algeria was good at reception but their attacking and defense was not good. This situation is not the one we wanted to be in this championship. We were coming o play for the top 8 positions, but however we are going to play each match with strength and moral"

Italian Team Captain Elena Perinelli:

"We were good today and we will try to be better tomorrow. We tried to make our game faster to overwhelm the Algerians and we succeeded to do this through our quick attacks."

Algeria Head Coach Kar?m Imedjdab:

"I congratulate Italy. When compared to the previous matches against Poland, Egypt and Turkey we were better at reception today, Italy is a strong and good team which we shouldn't forget. Italy's player's being tall was one of their advantages.

Algeria Team Captain Celia Bourihane:

"We lost this match, but when we compare with the previous matches specially from the physical side, we played better in this match"
